Final ‘yes’ for Bell decksNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

The decks at Brass Bell are here to stay,as the provincial environmental affairsand development planning department

declares “case closed”.Residents raised their concern in 2012

about the construction of two deck areasaround the children’s tidal pool and the in-stallation of a door along a public walkwaybetween the harbour and Main Road.Brass Bell owner Tony White says a mis-

understanding arose after he approached

the Passenger Rail Association of South Af-rica (Prasa) – the land owner from whomWhite leases – for permission to extend thedeck area.Prasa gave the permission and, consider-

ing the work to be minimal, was of the opin-ion that environmental authorisation wasnot needed, according to media reports atthe time.White did not realise permission was

needed from the provincial department, butapplied for the permission retroactively aft-er it was brought to his attention, he says.In 2012, the National Environmental Man-

agement Act required permission for in-fill-ing, excavation and construction activitieswithin 100m of the high water mark.However, the act changed in 2014 to ac-

commodate construction within “an urbanarea” that would not require environmentalauthorisation.White then applied to have his application

withdrawn as the construction of the decksfell within an urban area.The provincial department has now is-

sued a letter agreeing with White.It also states that the request for with-

drawal is accepted and the file is “closed for

all administrative purposes”.In September 2014 the City of Cape Town,

Prasa and the Brass Bell entered into anagreement that covered access to the pools,White says.White is relieved the “costly process” is

now over, with legal fees costing double theamount to build the decks, he says.Tony Trimmel, chairperson of the Kalk

Bay Ratepayers’ Association, says althoughthe case may be closed, the organisation isstill waiting for the results of a social impactassessment which is being completed on thearea around the tidal pools.

A group of concerned residents from across Cape Towncame together under the auspices of the #ZumaMustFall campaign in the CBD on Thursday. The march – onthe same day as the Sate of the Nation Address – sawprotesters walk through the city from Green MarketSquare to the Grand Parade. March organiser ChristelleScheepers, addressing the crowd, said: “We expecteveryone to be equal in the eyes of the law, includingthe president.” PHOTO: LOUISA STEYL

The fireball fun run will see all dona-tions from a 6km fun run going towards fireprevention.All participants are requested todress according to the theme “Fire”.The race at theFarmVillage inNoordhoek

beneficiary after the devastating wildfire ofMarch last year, says organiser Owen Mid-dleton.“The huge fires brought a community to-

getherandproved that despiteus living suchisolated lives,when the chips aredown thereare really good people out there who willcome together to serve a common good. Forexample, the fires inside De Goede Hoop Es-tate were fought by residents living outsidethe estate, despite themajority havingneverset foot inside the enclosed estate,” he says.“The events also proved that in such disas-

ters you can’t just sit back and rely on theservices that we are so blessed to enjoy – it’sjust too much. This is really an inspiring at-mosphere to identify and live in and I feltwe should do something to hold onto thatspirit.”The event, which will only have space for

700 runners, hopes to raise R100 000, saysMiddleton. This will be in addition to in-come generated at the Farm Village duringthe event.V Participants can register for the fireball fun run atwww.wildrunner.co.za. Entry is R200 for adults, R100for children and R500 for families.

Donation will help give kids healthy foodNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

An Ocean View feeding scheme receivedsome love ahead of Valentine’s Day.Love in Action Ministries, which pro-

vides meals to between 200 and 400 chil-dren twice a week, received the gift of a

new fridge and freezer.As the ministry provides nutritious

meals – with meat and fresh vegetables –instead of soup, the donation of a fridgewas originally suggested by appliancestore Hirsh’s. But it was clear that a largercombination of a fridge and freezer wouldbe better suited to the ministry’s needs,

and appliance manufacturer Liebherrstepped in. Hirsch’s will now raffle off theoriginal fridge, and all proceedswill go thefeeding scheme.The ministry also provides a safe space

for children to play and organises fostercare for children who have been removedfrom their families.

With the donated fridge and freezer are, from left, Liebherr’s Ruaan Lindes, Love in Action Ministries’ Raymond Katts and Angie Brooks, aswell as Hirsch’s Yolanda Silba. In front are some of the children who benefit from the ministry’s feeding scheme. PHOTO: NICOLE MCCAIN

The Ardmore Ceramic Art Cape Town exhi-bition hosted annually at the Cellars-Hohen-ort Hotel in Constantia is back.It will run from Friday to Sunday from

09:00 to 17:00 daily.This year the ceramics on display are in-

spired by the Kalahari.Standing as a testament to the way in

which life is able to adapt and thrive in theharshness of extreme conditions, the Kala-hari offered the Ardmore artists a thought-provoking fresh environment to work with.Ardmore founder Fée Halsted says this

year’s Kalahari Cats exhibition has been themost challenging and exciting exhibition forthe Ardmore team to ever work on and shethinks that this collection includes some oftheir finest works ever produced.Ardmore ceramic art is associatedwith an

abundance of colour and lavish plants withgalloping, wild animals as subject matter.The usual animals, like zebra, leopard, gi-

raffe, elephant and crocodile, have been ex-changed for meerkat, badger, aardvark, os-trich, bat-eared fox, cheetah and blackdesert rhino.“This new wilderness is a unique land-

scape that heavily contrasts with anythingelse that our artists have worked on. Thisis the first time they have had to use theirexpressive qualities to convey the stark andtextured Kalahari,” says Halsted.In the line-up is Betty Ntshingila, known

as the bird lady of Ardmore, who has beenworking with raptors as subject matter forthe first time, as well as lilac-breasted roll-ers, scarlet-breasted shrike, korhaan andhornbills. Her social weaver nest-like vasesare works that Ardmore is looking forwardto showcase to collectors at the exhibition.

Local boys showkicks in Las VegasNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

A group of South Peninsula boys havebeen given the chance to live their soc-

cer dreams.The boyswill join anu.19 squad of 23 play-

ers which will compete in the Mayor’s Cupin Las Vegas.

The players are the first to representSouth Africa in the annual tournament.

Noordhoek’s Linus Reichel, Fish Hoek’sAlex van Schalkwyk, Aram Hendricksefrom Retreat and Mitchell’s Plain residentGarrin Jaftha have been selected. They willbe joined by Phakamani Ngcwana fromMa-siphumelele – who has never left the prov-ince or been on an aeroplane – and PatsonLemon from Ocean View.

The tournament’s host has sponsoredtheir accommodation and food, which hasgone a long way to help the boys raiseenough funds for the trip, says former pro-fessional player and mentor Paddy Hall.The tournament is an annual “showcase”

event for young soccer players to show offtheir talents.“The purpose of this trip is to get our

youngsters seenby scouts fromuniversitiesand colleges. They offer bursaries to deserv-ing talent, academically as well as soccer-wise,” he says.Some of the local players, who are as

young as 16 and 17, will be tested in the u.19tournament, Hall believes. They will get toplay in at least four matches.“Hopefully this tour is successful and we

canopendoors for our youngsters,” he says.

A group of local boys have been selected to represent their county for the first time at asoccer tournament in Las Vegas.


DISRUPTIONOFWATER SUPPLY:OCEAN VIEW ZONE AND SCARBOROUGHWednesday 24 February 2016 andTuesday 23 February 2016The City of Cape Town’s Water and Sanitation Department will be completing a zero pressuretest on the water supply feeding the water supply zone in Ocean View on Wednesday24 February 2016 and in Scarborough on Tuesday 23 February 2016.

This will result in the disruption of the water supply to these areas from 22:00 until 04:00 thefollowing morning.

The work has been planned carefully to ensure minimal disruption of the water supply in theaffected areas.

For maintenance and upgrading, the water supply network across the city is divided intoreticulation zones which are smaller and much more manageable sections of the large network.This work forms part of the City’s Water Demand Management Plan and will significantly reducethe occurrence of pipe bursts and subsequent water losses.

Please store water in clean sealed containers for domestic use during this period.

The City regrets any inconvenience caused.

Bikers have their rallies, so where doscooters gather to have some fun?For scooter fans Obs Scootermania will

be the place to be on Sunday for the firstdedicated scootering event in Cape Town.Participants arewelcome,whether they

Singer funds local’s dreamLOUISA STEYL

@LouNotes

An Ocean View resident is on her way tobecoming a lawyer thanks to the Blue

Collar Foundation and singer JimmyNevis.Savannah Jade Marney is the recipient of

the first J. Nevis Bursary which aims tochange the lives of young Capetonians andallow them to dream beyond their currentsocio-economic circumstances.Despite serious health hurdles, Marney

matriculated from Ocean View SecondarySchoolwith five distinctions andwasaccept-ed to study at UWC’s Law faculty.While Jimmy Nevis’s financial contribu-

tion has helped make her studies possible,book company Via Afrika has come to theparty to help pay for her second and thirdyear, based on merit.Marney says she saw Nevis talking about

the Blue Collar Foundation and the bursaryon television and decided to find out moreonline. She soon sent off her application.“At first I was hesitant, but somehow I

knew that I needed the financial support,”she says.She got a call from the foundation in Janu-

ary, requesting an interview, and the nextthing she knew, Nevis and his dad showedup at her door to chat to her.“When they entered my home I was ex-

tremely nervous, but as the interview pro-ceeded I became more comfortable.”She clearly impressed the Nevises, as the

call with good news about her bursary camethe very next day.“At first I was extremely shocked. I

couldn’t believe that JimmyNevis chose meas his recipient,” she says, adding: “It tookme quite a while to process what had justhappened.”With his help, Marney is now on her way

to achieving her dream of serving othersthrough the legal system.

“I feel that society has lost its faith in thejustice system and somehow I’d like to at-tempt to restore that faith – I get satisfactionin knowing that at least I tried.”Considering the obstaclesMarneyhashad

to overcome, she’s used to doing more thanjust trying.She was just 15 when she was diagnosed

with lupus, a chronic, autoimmune disease,which sees her body producing antibodiesthat attack her healthy tissue.Although it was a struggle for her to come

to terms with the diagnosis, she’s learnt todo sonow, adding that her diseasemotivatedher to work harder.

“Being diagnosed didn’t really affect myschooling career. I did not allow it to.”Her friends and family helped to create an

“amazing” support structure, and knowingthat she had people who believed in her,pushed Marney to work even harder.“It wasn’t an easy task to cope with the lu-

pus flares and focus entirely on school, butsomehow I pushed through all the pain.”Her message for other young adults up

against obstacles is: “Don’t let the toxicmix-ture of fear and laziness ruin your goals, am-bitions and productivity’’.“Reach for the stars; build your resilience

by overcoming your challenges,” she adds.

CITY ACTS TO RESOLVE LONG VEHICLELICENCE QUEUES

The City of Cape Town has stepped in to issue licence disc renewal reminders. Vehicle ownerswill now be receiving renewal notices from the City rather than from national agencies as theydid previously.

This will reduce the inconvenience suffered over the past months which has been brought onby the failure of national government agencies to fulfil their responsibilities and which has putthe brakes on the issuing of renewal notices.

The National Department of Transport has not completed the transfer of the Electronic NationalTraffic Information System (eNaTIS) to the Road Traffic Management Corporation (RTMC). Theyare not sending out renewal notices and they are unable to supply the City with more eNaTISterminals to enable us to increase our service capacity at our municipal offices.

Other City interventions to date include:• serving clients before the official opening time of our offices of 08:00 where possible• remaining open until the last person in the queue has been attended to• having staff work overtime to increase the capacity to serve customers• redeploying staff to hotspots across the metro

Customers are also encouraged to apply for their vehicle licence online by visitingwww.capetown.gov.za/eservices.

National government regulations now require proof of residence when applying for a licencerenewal. So please don’t forget to bring your ID and, if possible, please make copies of your IDand proof of residence as this will reduce the time spent at our municipal centres.

For a full list of acceptable documents that constitute proof, residents can visit the WesternCape Government website: www.westerncape.gov.za/tpw

For more information please contact [email protected].

We thank you for your patience and support.


Rape Crisis stillgoing strongEARL HAUPT

@EarlHaupt

The Rape Crisis organisation is celebrat-ing its 40th anniversary this year. It is

also the oldest organisation dealing withthe rape of adults in South Africa.

Rape Crisis is still regarded primarily asa woman’s organisation.

Over 8 000 sexual offences occur in theWestern Cape each year, with conservativeestimates saying that the number repre-sents just the one in nine cases that gets re-ported, meaning that the true extent of theproblem is much larger, according to Kath-leen Dey, Rape Crisis’ director.

“99% of the rape survivors that we offerservices to are women and they experiencethe bulk of the problem. The impact that wemake on communities is that we really arethe go-to organisation for anybody who hasany kind of question or who he is sufferingthe impact of rape.”

Rape Crisis has offices in Athlone, Khaye-litsha and Observatory and bases at threeregional hospitals and five regional magis-trates’ courts in the Western Cape.

Dey says the change in government overthe last 20 years has made a very substan-tive change to the way that rape is respond-ed to by the criminal justice system. Theyhave also seen an improvement in policing,in forensic examinations and huge im-provements in the court.

However, in the last decade she says therehas been a downturn in those improve-ments.

“I think that the government has not allo-cated enough resources and there isn’t bud-get for the kind of maintenance and im-provement and ongoing change that is need-ed in the criminal justice system,specifically with regard to specialised offen-ces court.”

What has been encouraging is that thegovernment has promised to roll out 200 ofthese specialised courts across the country.

“We will be monitoring how they do thatin the Western Cape specifically, but alsoacross the rest of the country, to make surethat they actually deliver on that promise.If they do as they promise then we wouldsee that roll-out happening over probably

the next 10 years,” adds Dey.“We would want to see an average of 10

new courts being rolled out each year fromnow until 2025. Also, that each court mustactually meet the requirement of the blue-print for a sexual offences court. Govern-ment cannot just say that this is a sexualoffences court; it has to be operating andfunctional as a sexual offences court to meetthe requirement.”

Dey urges the various communities tocontinue their involvement with Rape Cri-sis in helping them make a difference byway of donations, by getting involved in theorganisation’s campaigns or volunteeringtheir time and expertise to make Rape Cri-sis more accessible to the communities itserves.

“You can never reach out to people on thesubject without acknowledging that some ofthem might be survivors who might needhelp and therefore our counselling servicesare available 24/7, 365 days a year.”

She cites the Anene Booysen rape andmurder case in 2013 as a turning point forthe campaign against rape, as it drew im-mense outrage from the public in terms ofseeking justice.

“It used to be that you [needed to be] achildren’s charity or the SPCA in order toreach people’s hearts enough for them to beable to reach into their pockets. But nowa-days, you can talk about sexual violenceand it will not be a subject that people willkeep quiet about.”

That ordinary citizens actually do wantto get involved is also encouraging, as wellas that these ordinary citizens are the oneswho helped the organisation stay afloat dur-ing its own time of crisis.

“It is ordinary citizens, people who willreach out and give that R50 every month.Some people are incredible and just giveR10 000 of their company money,” quipsDey.

Rape Crisis will be conducting a series ofevents throughout the year, especially dur-ing Women’s Month in August and in No-vember as well during the 16 Days of Activ-ism campaign.V For more information about Rape Crisis call021 447 1467.

Years after being separated from her par-ents, she has finally decided to piece to-gether the puzzle of her life.

Berenice Henkeman (née Brits), a 28-year-old woman who lives in Bridgetown,Athlone says she wants to find her parentsafter all these years to rid herself of theuncertainty she has had to deal with allher life.

“I have no idea who my parents are andI also have no idea where they live. I grewup in an orphanage and that is the onlyfamily I know,” Henkeman says.

Growing up without her siblings was al-so tough, although she has contact withone of her two brothers, who was also infoster care. “I know I have another broth-er as well, but I have no idea where he is.The uncertainty is really taking a toll onme after all these years and I just want tofind out who and where my family is, be-cause I do not even know if I’m passingright by a family member when walkingoutside,” she says.

Henkeman, who has two children aged15 months and eight years, says she alsowants her children to meet her family.

“My daughter has already asked meabout where my parents are and I do nothave answers for her and this reallybreaks me. I want them growing up know-ing who their family is. My son is also go-ing to start asking questions one day and

I do not want to be uncertain until thattime,” she says.

She has started her search, but says ithas “been a struggle so far”.

The names of her parents – JenniferBrits and Fuad Davids – were given to herat the orphanage before she left the homeat age 20.

“I was taken to the orphanage when Iwas a baby and now they need to locatethe social worker who took me there be-cause she is the only one who knew wheremy parents lived. If I do not have the infor-mation of the social worker this is goingto be an even longer process,” she says.

Henkeman says she has been left withmany questions and feels “it should stopnow. I have had enough of not knowing.”

“I do not even know if Berenice is myreal name, because I didn’t have a birthcertificate. All I know is I was born atGroote Schuur and the orphanage went tohome affairs to help me obtain my identitydocument.”

Although she says she does not knowhow to feel about eventually being reunit-ed with her parents, she is determined tofind them.

“I want my children to grow up knowingthem. And I also want to finally meet themand know who they are. I do not evenknow if they are still alive but I just needto know and make peace with finally get-ting some answers,” she says.V If you are able to help Henkeman in locating herfamily, email her on [email protected].

Woman (28) triesto find parents


Locals have been urged to come forwardwith information about last week’s fire

in Masiphumelele, which the City of CapeTown’s fire and rescue service respondedto on Friday.

Around 200 structures were destroyed inthe fire. The exact number still needs to beverified.

City officials are looking in to the causeof the latest fire.

Humanitarian help will be offered to thefire-affected residents, which includes theoffer of accommodation in theMasiphume-lele community hall, says Benedicta vanMinnen, Mayco member for human settle-ments.

“This is while the site of the fire is as-sessed, preparation is being made for theclearing of the debris and those affected bythe fire are registered for possible furtherassistance – ashasbecome thenormal oper-ation of the City,” she says.

This is the second large fire in the inform-al settlement in less than three months. InNovember, a fire destroyed around 1000homes.

“Strong, if anecdotal, evidence at thisstage suggests that the November fire waspossibly not accidental.

“It must also be noted that the Masiphu-melele informal settlement is completelyelectrified. Yet, every year, a large fire oc-curs here,” Van Minnen says.

“We have been acting to remove illegallyerected structures in the wetland area ofMasiphumelele. The proliferation of thisinformal settlement cannot be afforded asit will become more dense and thereforemore prone to devastating fires, while atthe same time negatively affecting the de-livery of basic and emergency services.”

Failure to report crimecouldaffect the safe-ty of the rest of your community’s mem-bers.

Police say a trend of not reporting crimeshave continued, with residents attributingit to either a lack of trust in police or notseeing a point in doing so.

Several instances of attempted robberies,hijackings and assault are among some ofthe popular cases not being reported.Sergeant Cathy Meyer, Lentegeur police

spokesperson, says it looks like residentsdon’t think it is important to report at-tempted crimes. “We see that people do notreport crimes if criminals did not make offwith anything,” she says.

Major-General Abraham Goss, policecluster commander, says this is dangerous.

“Even if something serious did not hap-pen, failure to report crimes affects ourcrime statistics and does not allow us to ef-fectively police.”Police explain this phenomenon is not

unique to one area.Meyer explains that theripple effect could be detrimental too.

“If we have six hijackings in an area andonly two are reported, we will not deploya vehicle to the area, because it is not seenas a red zone,” she says.

Meyer explains police officers can onlywork with cases they know about whenplanning and deploying crime preventionmeasures. Residents are urged to report in-cidents of crime to police as soon as possi-ble; not only to get your belongings back,but also if it was an attempted crime.V Call CrimeStop on 0860 010 111 with informationor visit your nearest police station.

LEGAL TALK WITH DENZIL

Ignoring debtwill not makeit go awayDebt has become a huge problem in South Africa, especiallywith the interest hike andunemployment – it is estimated thatover 9m South Africans are over-indebted.

It has been reported that half of South Africa’s workforceis currently struggling with debt repayments, with a stagger-ing 6000 vehicles and 2000 homes being repossessed monthly.

25 000 people are in danger of losing their homes. And don’teven mention looming retrenchment and unemployment.

This is an alarming state of affairs as we are entering 2016.What is even more worrying is that we live in a culture in

which consumers think that ignoring the issue will make itdisappear. The reality is that it will only lead to undesiredresults, such as judgements and an unnecessary bureau list-ing.

The question is, if you find yourself in debt, what optionsdo you have to rectify your situation and how can you movecloser to obtaining financial freedom?

Your first step is recognising the signs that you are in debt:don’t be in denial and accept that you need help.

Examples of behaviours are regular short-term loans, pawnshop visits, using credit cards to buy basic necessities likefood or even using your credit cards to repay your short-termloans.

Your immediate solution would be to approach your creditprovider – be honest, transparent and discuss restructuringyourdebt repayment plan.Most importantly, livewithinyourmeans and budget. Eat at home, not restaurants, reducewasteful expenditure on luxury items and even downgradeyour car, house or accommodation.

If this fails, you may need to seek professional help beforelegal action is taken against you.

The secondoption to consider is sequestration.This iswhenyour liabilities exceed your assets. In other words, when yourdebt exceeds the money coming in.

When this is the case you are deemed insolvent. Once thishappens, the court can sell your assets (your home, car andpersonal effects) to repay all your liabilities and debt.

The third option is administration. This is a process inwhich you hand all your financial affairs to an administrator,who will consolidate all your debt, for a fee, and repay yourcredit providers on your behalf. The credit providers receivedebt repayment on your behalf.

There is nothing more powerful than educating yourselfand selecting the right option for you. Debt places an enor-mous amount of stress on the individual and affects every ar-ea of your life.V This column was contributed by Denzil Jacobs, an admitted advocatewith expertise in commercial law.

‘Inhumane’ to destroy illegal homesThe video on SABC of the “official”destruction of the new shacks builton the edge of Masiphumelele wassickening. How inhumane todestroy new homes built by peopledesperate for a place to live.

Every society, every religiousgroup, and each of us will bejudged on the basis of our actionstoward the most vulnerable.

Of course, the City of Cape Townhas told the people not to buildthere. The City put responsibilityfor that “rule” on the Sanparksofficials.

Now we learn that the “wet-lands” may not, indeed, be truewetlands. And Sanparks officialssay that a parcel of the land boughtby the city in 2004 (12 years ago!)was expressly intended to provideland for homeless Masi families.

No wonder there is anger. Hadthe City been transparent, thisproblem could have been avoided.Not surprising that the currentsituation seems to be driven bypolitical (perhaps racist?) consider-ations. It certainly appears that weare defending white privilege.

Councillor Felicity Purchase hasstated that “the validity of thesefamilies” is in question. Who“validated” the families who settledin this community decades ago?Certainly no one validated myhusband and me when we moved

to Fish Hoek in 2001.Finally, how can we pretend that

there is no land available when wedrive past the obscene new devel-opment at the bottom of Ou KaapseWay, and when we read of theapproval of a new development inKommetjie?

SOLVEIG KJESETH,Fish Hoek

Subcouncil chairperson FelicityPurchase responds:

The City’s anti- land invasionunit demolished 24 shacks whenthey were re-erected in the wetlandafter warnings in December andagain last week that they wereillegal. The residents of Masi knowthat they are not allowed to erectshacks on council land and that wehave an eviction order to removeshacks built illegally.

All shacks are numbered and,when they pop up without num-bers, the residents are given noticeto remove them or we do so. Thevalidity of the structures refers tothe numbering and records on ourdatabase.

Masiphumelele was developed toaccommodate all the potentialbeneficiaries in the valley in thelate ’90s. The urbanisation whichhas occurred with people votingwith their feet and moving to thecity, has caused a proliferation of

shack farming, as developmentcannot keep abreast of the num-bers.

The issue of a phantom piece ofland that the City is hiding isludicrous. I will explain again:when the City acquired the piece ofland for, hopefully, housing, it wasthen the subject of various publicparticipation processes. This was tofacilitate the development of thesaid property. The ultimate recordof decision in the environmentalimpact assessment process deter-mined that the portion that couldbe developed, was the part todayknown as phase four, where thecivil engineering work is beginningas we speak. This will includeroads, sewerage, water and electri-cal provision to ultimately buildduplexes.

Another portion was identified asbeing low lying and not for devel-opment but could be used as openspace or sports fields. The thirdportion on the westerly boundarywas turned down for developmentas it was environmentally sensitiveand wetland. This document waspublic knowledge.

The Masi development frame-work has again raised the possibili-ty of revisiting this portion of land.No responsibility is put on San-parks. They would just be one ofmany commenting parties.

Claiming UIF is‘controlled chaos’On 4 December last year I went toregister to claim UIF benefits afterworking for one company for 16 years. Igot there at 06:00 and joined the queueoutside the locked offices, as they open at07:30, and then you have a very goodchance of being attended to on the sameday, as they turn everyone away at 15:30.

After many visits to the offices, by 25January my papers were all in order andall could be registered and accepted bythe UIF department. I was told on thatday by the consultant that in ten workingdays I would receive payment. As shehad requested my bank details to com-plete a form, which she kept, I was underthe impression that on 8 February theywould deposit the money into my ac-count.

At no given time did any one of theconsultants ever tell me I must come into sign first. On 11 February I phoned toquery the payment. I was told: “Yourmoney is available, but you did not comein to sign.” So when should I have goneto sign? How would I know to go in andsign? I was told I could go in the nextday (Friday) to sign, they would attend toit Monday and by Wednesday it would beavailable.

I am taken aback by the lack ofcommunication. The system is controlledchaos. If I did not query this, wherewould the money go? These are employedpeople at a government department thereto assist the unemployed.

HOME MAINTENANCE

Keep up the good workAn ounce of prevention is worth

a pound of cure, as the old say-ing goes, and it holds especiallytrue these days for homeowners.“By keeping up with mainte-

nance on a regular basis, for exam-ple, they will be able to spot andremedy minor problems beforethey multiply and become majorheadaches requiring budget-breaking fixes,” says Jan Davel,MD of a national estate agencygroup.“It also means they will be able

to spend their next summer holi-day relaxing and entertainingwithfamily and friends, instead ofcatching up on a year’s worth ofhome maintenance chores, asmany people have recently beendoing.”Noting that “deferred mainte-

nance” is oneof thebiggest reasonsthat homes don’t reach their ask-ing price, or don’t sell at all, he saysthat sticking to a proper mainte-nance and improvement plan willalso ensure that the property al-ways looks its best and is ready forsale should the owner need to sellquickly.Some expert suggestions for

drawing up an annual home main-tenance planner include the fol-lowing:

. Alternate major jobs such asre-painting so that the interior isdoneoneyear, the exterior is paint-ed the following year, and win-dows, doors and framesarepaintedas a separate project;

. Check the roof regularly fordamaged waterproofing and anyleaks.A leakquicklymended couldsaveyou fromhaving to repair ceil-ings and repaint walls;

. Regularly check the plumbingand irrigation systems for blocka-ges and leaks. Small faults can of-ten be repaired by the homeowner,but amajor overhaul will probablyneed an expensive expert;

.Remove garden refuse and anyrubble regularly in small loads,and avoid having to call in a wasteremoval service to take away amountain of junk;

. Clean fitted carpets regularlyto ensure they always look theirbest;

. Clean the pool daily to avoidan expensive draining, re-surfac-ing and re-filling.

And, finally, Davel says, it’s agood idea to keep a maintenance“logbook” from the time you moveinto your home, including detailssuch as paint colours and codes,any guarantees, and the names ofpreferred suppliers and serviceproviders for appliances, tools andequipment such as pool and bore-hole pumps, gate motors and elec-tric fencing.“This will ensure that no essen-

tial tasks are missed, and could al-so be a great selling point as it willreassure potential buyers that theproperty has been carefully lookedafter.”

Still a good time to buyIn the past year, home prices inthe first-time buyer sector havegrown only half as fast as theydid in the previous 12 months,according to the latest statisticsfrom BetterLife Home Loans.And that, says Shaun Radem-

eyer, CEO, is good news in theface of the recent interest rateincreases, because itmeans thatthose who are currently think-ing of buying for the first timewon’t need to borrow muchmore now than they did at thistime last year – and that theirmonthly bond repaymentswon’t be that much higher.These statistics, which repre-

sent 25% of all residential mort-gage bonds being registered inthe Deeds Office, show that theaverage purchase price for first-time homebuyers increased byjust 2,23% in the 12 months toend-January, compared to al-most 5% in the previous 12months.In addition, says Rademeyer,

the average approved bondamount for first-time buyershas increased by 4% in the pastyear, while the average amountof cash required as a deposit hasshrunkbyalmost 17%,whichal-so makes it easier for new buy-ers to get into the market, asdoes the fact that there is notransfer duty payable on homescosting less than R750 000.“In rand terms, the average

first-time buyer home price cur-rently stands at R665 000, the av-erage approved bond in this sec-tor at R619 000 and the averagecash deposit required atR46 000.This means that on a new 20-year loan approved at the cur-

rent prime rate of 10,25%, theaverage monthly bond repay-ment for first-time buyers isnow R6 089.”The news is, unfortunately,

not so good for those who wereplanning to upgrade to larger ormore expensive homes thisyear, he says.“Our statistics show that

home prices in the wider mar-ket have grown by an average of6,5% in the past year, or verynearly as much as in the previ-ous year (6,6%) and that factcombined with higher interestrates will make it harder to up-grade going forward.“In fact, we expect it to fuel

the trend towards downscalingin the repeat-buyer category, es-pecially since the averageamount of cash required as a de-posit is currently some 19%higher than it was a year ago.This means that home sellersneed to usemore of the proceedsthey receive now as a deposit ontheir next home, and makesthem inclined to opt for less ex-pensive purchases.“As for the overall state of the

market, interest rate increasestotalling 100 basis points overthe past year have resulted in adecline of less than 1% in thenumber of home loan applica-tions being submitted.“What is more, our figures re-

veal that the number of applica-tions that are being declinedoutright by the banks hasdropped by more than 16% overthe past year, and that we havesecured more home loan ap-provals in the past 12 monthsthan in previous years.”

With everything from17th centuryplaysto hip-hop on the menu, Artscape’s

programme for audience development andeducation this year is set to bring togetheraudiences from all walks of life.The programme kicked off in January,

ry of Maynardville and the 60th annualShakespeare play performed there.The rest of Artscape’s programme will

take audiences on a journey of discovery,highlighting humanity’s similarities anddifferences while cementing a love of thea-tre and fostering a new generation of thea-tre-goers.The Western Cape Schools Festival of

Arts and Creativity in March is just one ofthe events aimed at pupils. It seeks to ex-pose youngsters to professional theatre.In partnership with the Cape Town Jazz

Festival, young musicians as well as thoseinterested in behind-the-scenes work willget a chance to showcase their talents.Young actors will be given an opportunityto do the same during the finals of the na-tional acting competition in May.Pupils will also pay tribute to Shake-

speare during the Shakespeare SchoolsFestival where children are encouraged topresent anabridgedversionof their favour-ite work.The annual Nasheed competition for

high school pupils in April turns the spot-light on Islam, particularly the Nasheedstyle of a capella singing.Western Cape pupils will get a chance to

see their setwork books brought to lifewithproductions like Fiela se Kind, Krismis vanMap Jacobs and Amaza on stage in Apriland May.This year’s audience development pro-

ductions also celebrate local playwrightslike John Kani. His Nothing but the TruthandMissingwill be staged from 5 to 15May.Hip-hop will get its day in June when the

popular dance production Cape Town’sMost Wanted returns to the Artscape Thea-tre, just before HemelBesem andDutch art-ist Akwasi explore South Africa and theNetherland’s shared history and languagethrough the medium of hip-hop.A series of workshops, programmes and

Doctor Godenstein’s Man will be on stage atthe Galloway Theatre in the city centre untilSaturday.Written by Callum Tilbury and starring

Ameera Conrad and Wessel Pretorius, thepiece tells the story of Dr Arceus Godenstein,who lurks inside his gigantic copper space-ship where the unhinged scientist is bent oncreating the biologically perfect man.With his assistant (a butler named Butler),

Godenstein’s plan is to immortalise himselfas the best and most greatest inventor in thehistory of the universe. As his experimentsfail, his frustration mounts and Butler’s loy-alty is put to the test.Comically exploring the politics of sex, gen-

der and the label of “man”, Doctor Goden-stein’s Man is a sneaky, ridiculous parody ofgodly proportions.V Tickets for the show, which runs every day from tomorrow to Saturday, cost R120 or R90 for students. Visitwww.waterfronttheatreschool.co.za/booknow.

WP disabledgolfers win cupWestern Province’s golf-

ers proved yet againthat golf is played on

grass, not paper, as the fourbankers and 17-year-old rookieIgnation Douries sealed a hattrick of victories in the HollardProvincial Challenge of theSouth African Disabled Golf As-sociation (SADGA) on Sunday.Over 36 holes of rousing shot

making and spirited competi-tion,WP rallied to triumphwith11.5 points, defeating defendingchampions Rest of Country(ROC) by two points. Gautengfinished a close third with ninepoints.The competition was hosted

by ReichmansCapital at Zwart-kop Country Club.There were lots of doubting

Thomases who didn’t believethat Douries would keep pacewith deaf player Ryan Lotz andthe experienced leg amputeesMorne Cronje, Riaan Spreethand Trevor Reich.Douries collected two points

for WP in the first round andsurprised with unexpected de-termination at the closing holein the final round.Standing on the 18th tee, Dou-

ries was one down to Virgil Fos-ter fromGauteng and all squarewith Nico Wentzel from ROCafter the former Nedbank SADisabled Open champion wonthe 17th hole.“It was very, very tight at the

end, but Douries handled thepressure like a real pro,” saysproud WP skipper Pieter Ver-wey.“Wehad 10points inhand, but

ROCwas on 9.5 points andGaut-eng had 8.5 points. Douries hadto halve against Foster and beatWentzel to win the ProvincialChallenge for us. It was touchand go, but Ignation was like alittle terrier that just wouldn’tlet go.“Experience is always great,

but there is a huge case to bemade for youthful exuberance,because Douries really did him-self as well as WP and the SAD-GA development initiative – thefirst swing programme – veryproud.”Douries and Lotz both collect-

ed three points for WP, Spreethamassed two points and Cronjewon the Most Valuable Playerhonour for the champion with3.5 points.“Reich didn’t contribute any

points this year, but the teamawarded him a gold star for in-spiring everyone else to great-ness,” says Verwey.“Of course thatmeanshepays

for all the celebratory drinks.”

Westridge Yankees’ softballers canfeel chuffed with their work afterbeating a plucky Tantasport side 9-2

in an earlierCapeTownSoftballAssociationSuper League encounter at Turfhall Stadi-um on Saturday.The Mitchell’s Plain side smacked 10 hits

(8 singles and two doubles), had off pitcherRoxanneAlbertyn. Yankees, batting second,opened their account by scoring four runsin the opening frame.

However, in the top of the fourth frameTantasport reduced the deficit by tworuns, but in Yankees’ next two framesthey accumulated five runs at the end ofthe sixth framewhile Tanta failed to addany further runs to their tally.Yankees started with Sadeeka Dulvie

on the mound. She pitched for 4.1 of aninnings, faced 20 batters, surrendered 5hits (a home run and 4 singles) while al-lowing one base-on-ball, earned a soli-tary strike out and two runs, of whichone was earned.

Relief pitcher Megan Cable faced five battersin her 1.2 innings. She pitched and struck outall five batters for achieving a remarkable no-hitperformances and five scalps to cherish.Nonetheless, Justine Stewart (1-3) clobbered a

home run in the fourth inning while Kathrynvan Boom (2-3), Roxanne Albertyn and DonneBartlett (each 1-2) also contributed with the batfor Tantasport.Tantasport entrusted Albertyn with pitching

duties. She occupied the mound for six innings,facing 30 batters, conceding four base-on-balls,earned one strike out and allowed ten hits andnine earned runs.Featuring were Nuraan Williams, Roxanne

Ohlsson, Glynis Koopman (each 2-3), Sasha Phi-lander (1-1), Jacky Adonis (1-2), Candice Bulland Megan Cable (each 1-3).It was primarily the good hits accomplished

by the batting line-up that contributed to runsand simultaneously enabled Yankees to recorda resounding and industrious win.

Falcons whip St Martin’sA determined Falcons side showed their met-

tle with bat and ball in a dominant display atTurfhall Stadium to whip St Martin’s 8-1 in thelate match on Saturday.Bonita Cloete led the pitching attack by

Saints. In her five frames she faced 31 batters.While she conceded no base-on-balls or anyfanned scalps, she surrendered 12 hits and six

earned runs.Tamara Larney (3-4) smacked two singles

andadoublewhileNicoleAlexander (2-2) hita single and a triple, with some useful bat-ting also coming from Kelly Julie (2-4),Nicky Jones (1-1), Carla Jacobs and BettinaPhilips (each 1-3).A three bagger enabled Falcons to score

runs in the first (3), fourth (1) and fifth (3)innings to accumulate 8 runs.Falcons were confident enough to begin
